eth2ap and up/down cycle

[rognskog]

Hello,
I am trying to use the eth2ap example (4.4.6) to bridge wifi/eth.
However, the ethernet interface seems to go up/down all the time. Any hints?

(8959) eth_example: Ethernet Link Down
I (8969) wifi:flush txq
I (8969) wifi:stop sw txq
I (8969) wifi:lmac stop hw txq
I (10959) eth_example: Ethernet Link Up
I (10969) wifi:mode : softAP (e0:5a:1b:66:5e:db)
I (10969) wifi:Total power save buffer number: 16
I (14959) eth_example: Ethernet Link Down
I (14969) wifi:flush txq
I (14969) wifi:stop sw txq
I (14969) wifi:lmac stop hw txq
I (16959) eth_example: Ethernet Link Up
I (16969) wifi:mode : softAP (e0:5a:1b:66:5e:db)
I (16969) wifi:Total power save buffer number: 16
I (18959) eth_example: Ethernet Link Down
I (18969) wifi:flush txq
I (18969) wifi:stop sw txq
I (18969) wifi:lmac stop hw txq

This is not something known. Maybe try newer version of the example. Maybe try to lower the drive strength of the digital output 17 from the default value 20mA to 5mA. There are usually 4 levels of strength from 0 to 3.
